Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.110 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: I got to try the Pixel Slate today and it's fantastic but I did come across 1 website that required a trackpad/mouse. Microsoft's tablets had the same problem and they solved it by adding a virtual/on-screen trackpad to Windows 10 and it's perfect, Chrome OS needs this for the Pixel Slate because it uses the full/desktop user agent, it doesn't use a mobile user agent (thank goodness!) What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Here is Microsoft's announcement of the virtual trackpad, scroll down to the section titled "Controlling external monitors from tablets just got easier" https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/11/09/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-14965-for-mobile-and-pc/#u4hwUokzkbafEpeV.97 Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 70 Channel: stable OS Version: 70 Flash Version: I really hope to see this added soon, it will allow Pixel Slate owners to leave the keyboard at home without having to worry (or if they just forgot to bring the keyboard)

Can this please be brought to the attention of people that work on the Pixel Slate?

I just ran across the same issue, and had basically the same idea. Many web applications are not optimized for touch-screen use. A virtual on-screen track-pad that essentially allows to simulate track-pad events would allow using these without an external track pad or mouse. |
